And if you can believe it, the last update I will be doing for the 2012 Tournament.  Is it because I’m lazy?  Well don’t get me wrong, I am lazy, but that isn’t the reason.  The reason is because this thing is over.  And for the second time during this school year, the Turtledroppings writers [...]

Though Syracuse held on, last night took some toll on many a bracket.  Michigan State losing certainly hurt a lot of people, as well as those who felt lucky they had Marquette beating Missouri.  That game obviously never happened, because Florida knocked them both off pretty much closing out a majority of the West Brackets.  [...]

There is a lot going on for Maryland Athletics right now.  Of course all 95% of really care about is the Men’s Basketball team, but there is still a lot going on for the athletic department to be excited about.  Just not for a our flagship program. First, we have to congratulate the Womens Hoops [...]

The field has been whittled down from 64 to 16.  Congratulations to all those teams who have advan….. you know what screw it.  I’m not being PC, I wish all teams had lost so that everyone would feel like me as a Maryland fan!  But I guess that is why God invented gambling, to MAKE [...]

Round One is halfway in the books, and it is nice to see 16 more teams that are just as miserable as us Maryland fans are, but in all honesty, whoever wins this tournament (as long as it isn’t Duke) is not the real issue here.  The real issue is which one of us will [...]

Yesterday I got a text from my writing partner here at Turtledroppings that “Maryland Baseball swept”.  I being the optimist wrote back “Awesome”, which he probably took as sarcasm or just another WTF moment from his writing partner. Unfortunately the text was misinterpreted and our baseball dropped 3 in a row to Wake Forest.  So [...]

Ten Years ago the Terps has just won their 1st National Championship and were on the verge of bringing in a highly touted recruiting class. Today their season ends on Friday of the ACC Tournament which closes out a resume that won’t be strong enough to garner an NIT bid. Sigh. I guess I would [...]
